True dat.

As I said previously,.. designers can run their business however they want. I am sure they can run a business with no clients and be perfectly happy in their GFY lives.

My point was, there is no industry 'standard' of a 50/100% upfront for design work, which some people tend to infer. It varies by client, and relationship as repeat business is a whole different ball game, as is a long term project.

On a side note, some other 'classics' I can think of along this track are getting invoices in a timely manner. Getting things delivered on time. Consistent work where one time it's great, next time is shit... probably because granny died for the 10th time, brand new iMac died unexpectedly and had to have everything reinstalled, and so forth.
